The online course lasts around 2.5 hours and is prepared and conducted by spice sommelier Patrick Eisermann.

What you’ll do in the class

We will send you a lovingly assembled package 10 days before the start of the course. It contains the exclusive types of pepper, a comprehensive summary of the course and inspiring recipe ideas. You will also receive a link to access the online platform on the day of the event.

The online course uses various types of pepper, which you can experience directly during snacks or dinner. You dive into the fascinating world of pepper, from botanical classification to the variety of aromas through precise sensory training. In addition, you can create three individual pepper blends according to your personal preferences.

Who is the class suitable for?

Do you love pepper or are you ready to discover new, high-quality pepper varieties that go beyond the ordinary? Then this course is just right for you. You will quickly discover how diverse the world of pepper is and how easy it is to use many of the initially exotic varieties. It is not necessary to already know about pepper and spices. The only important thing is to be open to good taste and new taste experiences.

Discover pepper in a completely new way. Because pepper isn't just pepper. The exotic types of pepper will inspire you with their exciting and absolutely unusual taste. But the “classic” types of pepper also remain exciting. Because there are big differences in quality and taste, depending on the variety, maturity and origin.

Details to remember

What to bring to the class

No content preparation is required for the course. You will be guided through the course in a structured and entertaining way. Make sure that you can process the types of pepper fresh, preferably with a pepper grinder and a mortar. Otherwise, the usual kitchen equipment such as knives, spoons, plates, etc. Choose ingredients that suit your taste. We recommend using regional and seasonal produce. You can find further details in our spice pack handout. We attach great importance to keeping preparation costs to a minimum. This course is about the discovery and diversity of pepper aromas. Instead of focusing on the perfect preparation of recipes, the focus is on specifically refining them with various pepper flavors. You have the option to actively participate or simply listen or limit yourself to bread, butter and pepper.

What is included in the class?

We are looking forward to an inspiring time in class, full of new experiences and delightful moments. This is included. In addition, you will learn a lot of new things about pepper and spices during the course.
